The Lakers survived the Kings 118-114. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
